Premarital agreements, also known as prenuptial or antenuptial agreements, are used to opt-out of a state’s law that would otherwise govern the characterization and disposition of assets and debts acquired during a marriage; and, in some states such as California, spousal support.  The agreement becomes effective upon marriage.  This program discusses the legal and practical reasons for and against entering into a premarital agreement.
